 I once worked for an assistant manager at a pizza restaurant whose $16 an hour management position had turned him into a power mad tyrant. That's how some people are wired. And now we have a lot of those kinds of people wearing judges robes, working in Congress, etc. This whole story tells us something about how easy it is for useless and corrupt halfwits to infest local governments, which matters for the rest of the country, as I outlined earlier.
